Riley Tufte Earns Devils Call-Up Following Anthony Mantha Injury

The New Jersey Devils called up forward Riley Tufte from the AHL's Utica Comets on Nov. 9 to replace the injured Anthony Mantha. The 28-year-old, 233-pound winger brings a heavy physical presence and strong AHL scoring credentials, including 32 goals for the Providence Bruins last season and 21 goals in 2024-25. Tufte could potentially slide into Mantha's former spot alongside Evan Rodrigues and Jesper Boqvist as New Jersey prepares to face the Winnipeg Jets.
